Hello

i am trying to do IDA, when I increment the scale factor, for some scale factor (PGA>3g) opensees gives the message. Does this message mean that the structure is collapse?

WARNING ForceBeamColumn3d::update failed to get compatible element forces and deformations for element: 215(dW: <<1.98e-11, dW0: 3.513e-10)

Would you please help me?

Thanks

likely, yes, the demands on the section are too high.
